Article Abstract
Objective: This study was aimed to compare different stenting techniques for coronary bifurcation disease (CBD).
Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains controversial for CBD; over the years, several stent techniques for bifurcation lesions have been used. Current guidelines recommend a provisional single-stent strategy as the preferred method for coronary artery bifurcation lesions. However, several randomized controlled trials (RCT) indicated that two-stent techniques showed better clinical outcomes.
Methods: We systematically searched Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science to include RCTs. The primary endpoint was the major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE). Secondary outcomes were cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), target-lesion or target-vessel revascularization (TLR or TVR), and definite or probable stent thrombosis (ST). Finally, we used 26 RCTs and a total of 7257 individuals were randomly assigned to one of the 6 stent techniques and included in this network meta-analysis.
Results: In our network meta-analysis, double-kissing (DK) crush was significantly more superior to other 5 stent techniques in MACEs: OR vs. provisional 0.40 (95% CI 0.28-0.55); vs. culotte 0.40 (95% CI 0.26-0.60). DK crush ranked the most effective treatment for MACE (100%), MI (75%), ST (83%), and TLR (100%) in the rank probabilities analysis. In patients with complex bifurcation lesion defined by DEFINITION criteria, DK crush was notably more efficacious than provisional, culotte, and T-stenting/T-stenting and protrusion (TAP) in MACEs (OR vs. provisional 0.26, 95% CI 0.13-0.52) and TLR (OR vs. provisional 0.24, 95% CI 0.10-0.58).
Conclusion: Compared with other stenting techniques, DK crush had a lower incidence of MACEs in CBD. DK crush was significantly associated with a lower rate of MACEs in patients with complex bifurcation lesions defined by the DEFINITION criterion.

Introduction: High intrarenal pressures (IRP) during mini-PCNL have been postulated to result in increased postoperative pain but no studies have evaluated this to our knowledge. We sought to determine if there is a correlation between IRP and immediate postoperative pain when using different tract sizes.
Methods: Patients were enrolled and assigned for standard (s-PCNL, 24fr), suctioning-mini (sm-PCNL, 16fr) and non-suctioning-mini (nsm-PCNL, 17.

Aims: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a significant limitation of coronary stent implantation, but the exact mechanism of ISR remains unclear. Patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are in a hypercoagulable state; however, there is less information on its association with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with ISR after PCI. We aimed to clarify whether or not CAD patients with ISR after PCI are in a hypercoagulable state and whether or not PS exposure on extracellular vesicles (EVs), blood cells (BCs), and endothelial cells (ECs) is involved in the hypercoagulable state.

Background And Purpose: Cervicocephalic artery dissection (CCAD) is a well-recognized cause of ischemic stroke. However, complex forms of CCAD, characterized by a wide intimal inlet without a visible intramural hematoma, pose diagnostic challenges and complicate endovascular access to the true lumen when recanalization is required. We aimed to analyze the clinical presentation, outcomes, and feasibility of endovascular treatment of complex CCAD and to propose a novel morphological classification.

Background: The outcomes of self-expanding stenting for symptomatic middle cerebral artery (MCA) M2 segment stenosis remain unclear. We aimed to analyze whether the safety and efficacy of M2 and M1 segment stenting procedures differ.
Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study analyzed data from three stroke centers involving patients who underwent self-expanding stent placement for symptomatic M1 or M2 stenosis between January 2017 and August 2024.

Background: Long-term comparative data on drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-coated balloons (DCB) for femoropopliteal artery (FPA) disease remain limited.
Objectives: The authors sought to compare 3-year outcomes of DES vs DCB without bailout stenting in FPA disease.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1,406 patients from a multicenter registry who underwent endovascular therapy for FPA using DES (n = 342) or DCB (n = 1,064) after the successful lesion preparation.
